Abstract

The DSN-Helios B-compatibility testing followed a very successful three-phase compatibility test program for the Helios prototype and Helios 1 spacecraft. This article covers the tests from arrival of Helios B at Cape Canaveral, Florida through launch. The compatibility tests consisted of (1) DSN-spacecraft radio frequency tests at both weak and strong signal levels, and (2) verification of radio frequency compatibility with the Helios B mated to the launch vehicle at Launch Complex 41.
